#ivy! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

[the-kr8tor]

I woke up this morning and almost cried after remembering I gotta go back to school. It's okay though!!! We're almost done!!!

It's government class AGAIN so you already know it's gotta be some more Leon HCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since it's almost summer (I live in Texas so it already feels like it ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ) it'll be summer headcannons!

If Leon has enough time off and no terrible injuries, I feel like it'd be nice to go on a mini vacation.

My first thought would be the beach, but if I'm thinking more, it'd be nice to have a lake or riverside retreat. (Also bc I read a fic where that was the case and it was so wonderful and amazing and I think about it sometimes)

I think that it'd depend on how many people you'd wanna deal with. I think that even though the beach is noisy and stuff, he'd find it nice to see so many people alive and doing well. Like, it makes him feel like it's not all bad. Idk how to describe it, but I think he'd feel nice about it.

I can totally imagine him collecting seashells with you in the tide pools too. I feel like you'd pick out the shells and Leon would hold them. YOU TWO MAKE SEASHELL NECKLACES TOGETHER THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL 🐚ヽ(`д´；)/

Imagine night walks on the beach with him?? Idk if beaches close or not but if they don't, I think it'd be nice to walk along the shoreline, moonlight dying his golden hair a soft shade of blue, his eyes matching the color of the sea as it sparkles like stars, holding hands and/or leaning on him a little, talking about nothing, and enjoying each other's company.

I'd think that for the lake type retreat, it'd be a little bit cooler, especially if you go up north. I think it'd be more hiking and exploring. I think it'd be fun to ask Leon about plants and stuff. I think he'd know more about wild plants than the average person, that's what I think. Lol I can see r about to run into a huge batch of poison ivy before Leon pulls her back and she's confused until he explains 'ohhhhhhh! I'd never actually seen poison ivy before.' Something silly

Imagine y'all find a cave and r really wants to explore it, but it's a firm no from Leon. "You never know what's I those, and if you find something unsavory, it's hard to get out." 'It's not even that big' "no" 'you can literally see the end from here.' "ʕ ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ"

I think that if he was with an r who liked to dress up, there would be several photoshoots. Leon entering his photography era lol. Do you think he'd be good or bad at taking pictures? I think he'd be good at taking pictures of others, but bad at taking pictures of himself. Idk I feel like he'd have a good idea of perspective and angles from using scopes and stuff. At the same time I think he'd be bad with aesthetics.

Leon likes canoes. This is a fact.

Y'all don't be going too far beyond the cabin at night, it's scary out there. It's s'mores and milk and movies on the patio for y'all.

I'm so hungry i think I'm gonna die 🥲

Noooo vacation is over :((

Daily Leon HC 💙💙💙

Oh god i can't imagine how texas summer feels like

Leon comes home with a sprained knee or something that isn't exactly life threatening and r sees vacation time with their handsome man! 😆

Awww a lake vacation sounds so nice! Our lakes here are terrifying (to me it is) bc of all the horror stories surrounding it like the fae grabbing you and taking you 😬

Ooh yes i understand that! Like he feels that all the work and sacrifices he made is all worth it seeing people be alive and just live without worrying what he literally fought

Listening to one of those big seashells with leon would be so cute!! Like those that you can hear the sea/waves out of it

Yessss he'll make a little ankle bracelet for you!!

That description made me yearn for him ngl 🥰😍

Lol sounds like me fr bc i would never guess a plant could be poison ivy 😂

The cave 😂 brooo i wouldn't even go near one in case there's a bear or worse a cryptid

I never thought of it that way! I agree he'd be good at taking pictures but when it comes to a selfie it's off focused and looks like a boomer took the picture 😂

Now i want to see leon in a canoe

Good bc I don't want to go out into the woods that late either 😂 leon has trauma from wandering the woods late at night

Nooo please eat something! Even a little snack would suffice!

I hated how she looks so young on my recent drawing ヽ(`д´；)/ here's an adult Ivy (*>∇<)ﾉ

DISCLAIMER

ive never writen a fanfic before so if this is cringe or too many unnecessary details i am so sorry...pls give me a chance..(pls give me feedback on how to improve my writing. pls be nice.)

(writing this slowly but surely...not even sure about the plot heheheee...)

chapter 1.

You wake up to a beam of light hitting your face. Its coming from the window. The fan above you softly moving the curtains with rhythm causing the light from the morning sun to spill into your room. You shift in your satin sheets to face the other direction when your phone begins to ring. You groan as you rub the tiredness away from your eyes as the alarm continues to play. Reaching for your phone, you turn the alarm off. You yawn and rub the crust out of your eye and open your phone while laying back down onto the satin pillows. checking your messages every morning has been a routine since moving the Phoenix Drop 3 months back. You didnt have many friends but the ones you have made so far are enough for you. A couple minutes pass by , no one has texted you since last night. Setting the phone down on your nightstand, you turn onto your stomach and start stretching to wake yourself up more. You slowly and lazily roll out of bed sliding on your slippers. Making your way to the bathroom that was just a few step away, you can hear your baby brother humming to himself while he brushes his teeth. Sharing a bathroom with your baby brother wasn't the worst but he did have a tendency of not cleaning up after himself. You swing the door open walk up to the foggy mirror. The floor was wet and the room was humid. You glare at your brother who has a towel wrapped around his chest and one on his head. He gives you a stupid grin with the toothbrush still in his mouth. You roll your eyes and turn to grab your tooth brush. getting yourself ready for the first day of sophomore year. You think to yourself while finsihing up your makeup, "--i wonder who ill have classes with..‐-" mid thought, you hear another song blasting from your phone, signaling that it was time to head downstairs for breakfast. You were driving to school and picking up Aphmau on the way just as you had discussed the night before. Rushing out of the bathroom while brushing the last bits of tangled hair out, you throw on your uniform. Then throwing the brush onto your bed. You run into the bathroom to wet your hair a bit and check if your makeup is decent before grabbing your phone and bag and running down the stairs to meet your mother. She always seemed so happy in the morning. Smiling bright for her two beautiful babies. She was the best. She walks over to your father and places a kiss on his head while placing plates of eggs on toast for the family. You pick one up and scarf it down with some Apple juice to wash it down. You wipe off the crumbs from your face and hurry to the door grabbing your keys and throwing on the converse you've worn since freshman year. You check the time on your phone before opening the door to your lovely home. "I'll see you guys after school, I love you!!" you shout, pausing for a response. "Ok sweetheart drive safe. we love you too!" you hear your mom yell from the kitchen, your dad grunting loudly in agreement. Not much of a talker but he was also the best. You smile while shutting the door and locking the door before heading to the small car you bought after months of working and saving up. You slide into the drivers seat and start the car before pulling out and making your way to aphmaus place.

LEET: 101 What is L3375934K? How do I understand this jumble!?

Leetspeak, hackspeak or leet- is the switch of a words letters with numbers or special characters. Leet is shortened from the word 'elite', which refers to the hackers who created and used the language in the 1980s.

It was originally created to communicate from person to person through this inside group, often used to disguise and mask illegal content.

To normal readers, taking time to understand the replacement between letters and numbers can be tricky. Below is a simplified guide to each letter and number switch;

───────────────────────

Alphabet (Simplified): The alphabet with number/symbol/letter correspondence. Some numbers are repeated- it just depends on context. I actually hate M,K,W,X and barely use them lol

A | 4 B | 8 C | < D | ) E | 3 F | = G | 6 H | # I | 1 J | _I K | I< L | I_ M | nn N | И O | 0 P | 9 Q | 9 R | 2 S | 5 T | 7 U | V V | \/ W | uu X | >< Y | 7 Z | 2

───────────────────────

Alphabet (Advanced): For all you who want to flex. Just includes a lot more creativity and symbols. Had a ball on my keyboard with this one, and even this isn't the entirety of what was used.

A | 4, /\, @, /-\, ^, Д B | 8, I3, 13, ß, !3, |-] C | <, ¢, {, (, © D | ), |), [), I>, ?, > E | 3, &, £, €, ë, [- F | =, ƒ G | 6, &, C-, <- H | #, /-/, (-), |-|, }{, I+I I | 1, |, ! J | _I, ], ; K | I<, |c, |( L | 1, I_, £ M | nn, /V\, (v), IVI N | И, |\|, /\/, /V O | 0, (), Ø P | 9, I*, ? Q | 9 R | 2, I2 ®, Я S | 5, $, z T | 7, +, † U | V, µ V | \/ W | uu, VV, Ш, \^/ X | ><, ×, )(, Ж Y | 7, Ч Z | 2, s

───────────────────────

Numerical: The numerical setout with letter correspondence. A lot simpler to understand and use daily. I see a lot more of number L337 being used in usernames or around the internet, so its far more common and understood.

1 | I, L 2 | R, Z 3 | E 4 | A 5 | S 6 | G 7 | T, Y 8 | B 9 | P, Q 0 | O

@nocturnalazure 素晴らしい20の選曲とエピソードが楽しかったです♡

エピソードと共に味わうために時間がかかってしまい、タグゲームへの参加が遅れて申し訳ありません！

ーーーーーーーーーーーー I enjoyed 20 wonderful song selections and episodes♡I'm sorry for the delay in participating in the taggame because it took a long time to taste with the episode!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence この曲は日本でもとても流行っていました。素晴らしい名曲に改めて魅了されます！ This song was also very popular in Japan. I am now once again fascinated by the wonderful masterpieces!

Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong ノクティさんのこの曲のエピソードが映画のワンシーンのようでときめきました(*´艸`)ｷｭﾝｷｭﾝ♡ The episode of this song by Nocty was like a scene from a movie.

Loïc Nottet - Mr/Mme 美しいピアノと彼の声に夢中になりました。初めて聴いた曲でこれほど感動して涙が止まらなかったのは久しぶりです。ブリュッセルの風景も素晴らしい。この曲を教えてくれてありがとうございます…！私は何度も聴くでしょう。 I was fascinated by the beautiful piano and his voice. It's been a while since I was so impressed with the song I listened to for the first time that I couldn't stop crying.The scenery of Brussels is also wonderful. Thank you for telling me this song ...! I will listen many times.

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die Nate & Ivy’sのテーマソングが聴けて嬉しい♡ 2人のイメージにぴったり！強さと儚さと永遠がそこに在る気がします。（翻訳で伝わにくい表現です。ごめんなさい） I'm glad to hear the theme song of Nate & Ivy’s♡ Perfect for the image of two people! I feel that strength, fragility and eternity are there. (It is an expression that is difficult to convey in translation. I'm sorry)

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

JPOP/JROCKの選曲が最高でした！

日本の音楽のとてもいい時代だったと思います。 The selection of JPOP / JROCK songs was the best! I think it was a very good time for Japanese music.

Arai Akino - Sputnik  新居昭乃さんは初めて聴きました。 歌詞が本当に泣いてしまいます｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

I heard Akino Arai for the first time. The lyrics really make me cry～！

Dragon Ash - Glory Dragon Ashはベスト盤くらいしか知らないのですが降谷 建志が私も大好きです♡ジャパニーズ・ラップは軽視されやすい印象なので楽しんでもらえることが嬉しいです！ I only know about the best compilation album of Dragon Ash, but I also love Kenji Furuya ♡ Japanese rap has the impression that it is easily neglected, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!

AJICO - Hadou (波���) ボーカルのUAがデビューした頃から大好きです♡久しぶりに聴いて懐かしかったです。I've loved vocal UA since it debuted, but I missed it because I heard her voice for the first time in a while.

Yamazaki Masayoshi (山崎まさよし) - Passage 初めて聴いた曲でした。山崎まさよしが好きというのはノクティーさんはめちゃセンスが良いと思います♪ It was the first song I heard. It's very nice to select Masayoshi Yamazaki!

そして、椎名林檎！！！！

私も彼女の好きな曲を選ぶには、多すぎて悩みます。 カラオケで何度も何度も色んな曲を歌いました。歌舞伎町の女王はSamのことも思い浮かべます。（個人的なイメージです XD） ピアノが印象的な曲「丸の内サディスティック」が私のお気に入りです♡

ノクティーさんと私は言語圏が同じならきっと夜通しおしゃべりして止まらなかったと思います( ´꒳`*)人(*´꒳` )ﾅｶｰﾏ

タグ付けありがとうございました♡ 思ったより長くなってしまったので私の選曲は後ほど投稿します。

And Shiina Ringo!!!! I also worry too much to choose her favorite song. I sang various songs over and over again at karaoke. 歌舞伎町の女王also thinks of Sam. (Personal image XD) My favorite song is "丸の内サディスティック-Marunouchi Sadistic", which has an impressive piano♡

Nocty and I wouldn't stop talking all night if they were in the same language hehehe(∀｀*ゞ)

Thank you for tagging ♡ It's longer than I expected, so I'll post my song selection later.

Snow Over Insomnia: ch. 1

Pairings: Gladnis, promptis

Theme: snowed in

Summary:

Once a year, Shiva blesses Insomnia with snowfall. This year's snow day finds four friends in transition. There's Noctis, who's trying his best to enjoy freshman year. With his best friend Prompto enrolled at a different college, it hasn't been easy. When a particularly controversial lecture puts Noctis on the spot, he says some things he regrets. Can he make amends before their friendship freezes over?

Meanwhile, there's Gladiolus, who's finding it increasingly difficult to deny his feelings for coworker and friend Ignis Scientia. The appearance of a mysterious figure from Ignis's past might just be the sign that it's time to come clean. Will Gladio make a move, or will he let the opportunity melt away?

PT. I: 10:12 hours

It was a good thing Noctis had remembered to mute his laptop before class started, because he received his first message from Prompto just twelve minutes into the lecture.

Prompto: brrrr! Freezing my a$$ off this morning

A selfie instantly followed: Prompto in a warm jacket and white beanie, grimacing up at the camera with a steaming coffee cup clutched in his gloved hand.

Noctis: heh. nice pic. whatcha drinking?

Prompto: mocha moogle latte. Yummm ;P

Noctis: all that sugar is gonna give you a headache

Prompto: hahaha yeah, probably. but i need some caffeine. i couldnt sleep all night thinking about that presentation!!!!  ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡

Prompto: so we still getting snowed in tonight?

Noct's smile widened. It wasn’t often that Shiva graced the arid landscape of Lucis with her affections, but at least once a year, snow fell on the city of Insomnia. Sometimes it was a few flakes, sometime just sleet. On rare occasions, such as the one predicted by Insomnian weather channels on this particular day, it was a blizzard.

Noctis: heck yeah! hope you're ready to binge some King’s Knight.

Prompto: ugh am i ever. so ready to chill after getting this presentation out of the way…

Noctis leaned back in his chair, brow furrowing. He cast a quick glance at projector screen down at the front of the hall: a slide about the Lucian civil war.

Noctis: y? U nervous?’

Prompto: yeah

Prompto: stomach hurts

Prompto: p sure im gonna throw up

Noctis: relax, prom

Noctis: you've been practicing a lot, right?

Noctis: you're gonna be great

Prompto: dude you have no idea what id give to hear you say that rn

Prompto: i wish we still went to the same school

Prompto:  ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡

A dull, tight ache formed in the center of Noct's chest. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the reply coming slower this time.

Noctis: me too.

Prompto: yeah...

Prompto: too bad my best friend has to go to a fancy schmancy ivy league school for geniuses (¬‿¬)

Noctis rolled his eyes.

Noctis: im not here cuz im a genius, prom

Prompto: his majesty is sooooo modest ;)

Noctis: srlsy

Noctis: im like most of the ppl here. average.

Noctis: the only genius ive met so far is specs

Prompto: lol youre just saying that to make me feel better

Noctis: nah. youre way cooler than like half of the people here

Prompto: ♥‿♥

Prompto: too bad i cant afford the tuition lol. id kill to have iggy as my teacher

Noctis glanced up from his computer. From his own seat in the center of the hall, Ignis was just a small figure behind an even smaller podium. Still, Noctis had to admit that Specs was definitely in his element at the front of a classroom. His fitted grey sweater, crisp collar and perfectly coiffed hair were every bit the image of the up-and-coming academian. The freshmen in the front row hung dreamily on every elegant gesture of his gloved hands as his voice rang out through the hall, crisp and clear as water. He said something that sent a murmur of laughter through the rows of desks. Noctis smiled.

Noctis: yeah its not bad

Prompto: duh!! hes probably way cooler than all of my professors combined

Prompto: anyway, g2g. Gonna try to run through my presentation one more time before class starts

Prompto: (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Noctis: dont worry prom. Youre gonna kick this presentation in the ass.

Prompto: thanks dude

Prompto: catch ya later

Noctis let his gaze linger on the final message, Iggy’s melodic tones lilting in the background. He tuned in long enough just to get the gist of the topic (ugh - still on the Lucian civil war). He turned his attention back to his laptop and clicked on an open tab, which took him directly to Prompto’s ChocoGram feed. There weren’t any new updates, but that didn’t stop him from smiling as he reviewed some of the earlier posts: Prompto getting ready to dig into a steaming, greasy pizza; a #tbt selfie featuring the baby chocobo they’d helped rescue during their summer road trip to Lestallum; a prank-selfie with a drooling, sleeping Gladio. Noctis chuckled. He’d been there when Prompto had taken that one. Even Gladio had agreed that the shot was just too good not to share.

He continued scrolling. A bunch of people Noctis didn't know, probably at a party; a filtered, black-and-white shot of a glistening, neon lit alley; a selfie with some guy Noctis had never seen before; a picture of the school’s mascot, tagged #gocactuars; Prompto wearing glasses…

Wait a second.

Noctis scrolled back to the photo of Prompto and the stranger. “Hanging with the coolest TA around,” read the caption. Tagged: #whenyourfriendhasthesamemajor, #collegelife #insomniaboys.

Friend, huh?

Noct’s eyes narrowed. He silently listed off any names he’d heard Prompto mention over the past semester as he analyzed the man’s features: platinum hair; a strong chin; sharp, intelligent eyes whose color he couldn’t quite discern through the ChocoGram filter. He let the cursor hover over the smug, obnoxious grin. A tagged username appeared: “Ghiranzenator.”

Before Noctis could really stop to self-reflect, he was scrolling through Ghiranzenator’s feed. It was the kind of content you’d expect from a twenty-something with a pompadour and generic good looks. Gym selfies tagged #fitnesslifestyle; poses in scenic, well-known locations captioned with thought-provoking yet totally irrelevant quotes (ugh, so pretentious). He wondered how Prompto even knew this guy. Was he the TA for one of Prompto’s classes? Did they have mutual friends? If so, why hadn’t Prompto mentioned him before? But now that Noctis thought about it, like really thought about it, he hadn’t really heard Prompto say a whole lot about any of the new friends he was making at school.

Wasn't that kind of weird?

A crumpled wad of paper plummeted through his thoughts, ricocheting off his forehead. Noct's head snapped in the direction it had come from. His eyes were met by a vision of Gladio, squeezed into a desk barely large enough to accommodate his lanky frame.

“Pay. Attention,” he mouthed, cocking his head in Iggy’s direction.

Noctis scowled. That was the one downside of having his bodyguard disguised as a classmate. Gladio was just all too ready to make sure Noct behaved like a good little student. The plus side was that Noct had at least one friend who could commiserate with his suffering.

Like now, for instance. A fan club member from the front row was monologuing, earning exasperated looks from his classmates. Noctis and Gladio exchanged a few muffled snickers.

“Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Cleetus,” Ignis cut in, his voice laced with a strain so barely audible that Noct and Gladio were probably the only ones who even picked up on it. “As you have noted for us, it is quite interesting that most rebel demands would be considered centrist by modern standards. However, we should recognize one deconstructionist philosopher whose theories remain polarizing even to this day.”

Ignis went to the next slide. A portrait of a wide-jawed man with a face only a mother garula could love brooded down from the display screen.

“Oh great,” Noctis muttered, drawing a confused look from Gladio. “Not this guy…”

"Regulus Invicta," Ignis continued, "is remembered as one of the strongest advocates for freedom of speech throughout the history of Lucis. However, what is less commonly remembered are his persistent demands for the de-establishment of the monarchy in favor of what we would now refer to as a democratic socialist republic. Even during the Lucian civil war, Invicta was a controversial figure. At first his philosophies were embraced by the deconstructionists, who sought to overthrow the Lucis Caelums in favor of a fragmented nation-states ruled by regional noblemen. They were less in favor of his leanings toward a democratic socialist republic. Despite this difference of opinion, Invicta was one of the few intellectuals of his time that insisted on the right of deconstructionists to espouse their ideals without punishment or censorship. Unfortunately, this insistence, combined with his involvement with radical circles, led to his eventual imprisonment. He would die of consumption shortly thereafter.”

A hand shot up - the same wind-bag from before.

“Yes, Cleetus?” Ignis’s smile was tight.

“Professor Scientia, as you were speaking I couldn’t help but remember an essay I came across in the Lucian History Journal the other day. The article was about the evolution of Lucian collective memory of the civil war.”

Gladio chuckled. “Oh boy. Here he goes again. This guy really can’t stop himself, can he?”

Noctis wasn’t laughing. He wanted Ignis to get back on topic and finish explaining why Invicta and the deconstructionists were wrong.

“According to the arguments propounded throughout the essay” - Gladio actually snorted at this point - “collective opinion regarding Invicta and the deconstructionists split after Lucis became a constitutional monarchy. Invicta was distanced from the deconstructionists and by means of propaganda -”

Bells went off in Noct’s head. Propaganda? What was this guy trying to get at?

“ - and state sanctioned school curriculum -”

Noctis gripped the arms of his desk, knuckles whitening.

“ - Invicta gradually became celebrated as one of the fathers of free speech. Meanwhile, his links to deconstructionists were covered up, preventing further instability to Lucian society while conveniently appropriating the parts that aligned with contemporary values.”

He paused for a breath. Ignis stepped out from behind the podium, quick to seize back control of the conversation.

“Your statements indicate a very post-modern interpretation of the historical records, Cleetus,” he remarked politely. “It’s interesting that you bring up social instability. Although not as commonly espoused today, there are ideologues who from time to time self-identify as deconstructionists. However, they are often ridiculed by both leftists and conservatives, rarely gaining any political legitimacy. In this way, the general public remains largely unexposed to contemporary deconstructionism outside of the occasional satirical representation on late night TV shows or the funnies.”

“You’ve gotta be kidding me.”

There was a rustle as heads turned in Noct's direction. Ignis adjusted his glasses.

“Is there something you would like to share, Prince Noctis?”

Shit. Gladio slid down low in his seat, muttering something that sounded a lot like, “Smooth move, Noct.”

Noctis cleared his throat. His cheeks felt like two flames. “N- not particularly.”

“Very well.” Ignis returned his attention to the slides. Noctis averted his eyes, only to be met by the expectant gazes coming his way from the next row down. His gaze happened to fall on Cleetus, he shot him a particularly snide smirk from over his shoulder.

Something in Noctis snapped.

“It’s just that, you said ‘satirical.’”

Ignis stopped mid-sentence. Scandalized whispers rippled throughout the hall. Gladio was actually facepalming. Meanwhile, Noctis’s cheeks somehow managed to get even hotter. He felt the need to continue.

“I just thought - well, it sounds like you think those depictions are kind of inaccurate, or something.”

Gods, he was sounding extremely upset and defensive right now, wasn’t he? What had happened to all that training in diplomacy and public speaking? Embarrassing.

“Satire is merely a genre, your highness," Ignis demured. "One that hyperbolizes a real-life topic or theme with intent to criticize, ridicule or expose. We may identify this genre from a neutral standpoint without either validating or condemning the arguments contained within the work itself.”

Noctis schooled his expression so it’d look like he’d understood this last bit.

“But you said the satirical representation is the only representation people see. Doesn’t that imply that there’s another representation that most people don’t get to see?”

“There normally is more than one side to every story,” Ignis said lightly, and his lips curved in such a smug, handsome grin that Noctis could have chucked his laptop at him.

“Yeah, but sometimes one side has better evidence than the other one. Shouldn’t that also be part of the discussion?”

He was pressuring Ignis to agree with him, to say that the deconstructionists were “wrong” and the monarchy was “right” and therefore Noctis was right, too. That the deconstructionists were just radical, terrorist nutjobs whose hogwash theories did more harm than good, so why even bother discussing them at all? Noctis knew it. Gladio knew it. Most of all, Ignis probably knew it.

So why were they still disagreeing?

“Indeed. However, the objective of today’s lecture is merely to review the deconstructionism as an historical movement. I will leave the evaluation of the ideas espoused by said movement to all of you in your term papers.”

A smattering of chuckles. Oh yes, how adorable, how clever. Noctis opened his mouth to let loose another retort when Gladio nudged his foot.

"Let it go," he mouthed with a slight shake of his head. Noctis grit his teeth with an audible “tch,” nails biting into the surface of his palms. He deliberately avoided Gladio’s gaze, instead fixing his attention on his laptop. The Ghiranzenator taunted him from the other side of the screen, all chiseled jawline and knowing smile.

Noctis closed the laptop with a ‘snap.’

PT. II: 13:00 hours

“I was too hard on him, wasn’t I?”

The words were out of Ignis’s mouth before Gladio had even stepped through the door. The office was tiny - more like a closet, really. Gladio tossed a small paper bag onto the desk and pulled up a seat, careful not to spill the coffee in his other hand.

“What’s this?” Ignis asked, peering owlishly from behind his computer. Gladio handed over the coffee.

“Thought you could use a pick-me up," he replied. "And nah; Noct is tough. He gets worse from me during an average training session.”

“You’re just saying that,” Ignis mumbled, raising the cup to his lips and taking a sip. “Mmm, Gladio, this is delicious. Thank you.”

Gladio crossed his legs, leaning back with a pleased smile. “Heh. Thought you’d like that. And no, I’m not just saying that. Noct is pissed off, but he’ll live. Try some of the scone.”

Ignis reached into the paper bag obediently. “I should have waited until after class,” he muttered. “Or warned him about the topic before hand.”

“Yeah, that probably would’ve helped.”

“I just don’t want to allow him more special privileges than I already have! How am I supposed to prepare him for his future responsibilities if I keep treating him differently from the other students? Can you imagine, just last night he actually asked me to check his homework!”

“Did you?”

“What do you think?” Ignis snapped. “We live together for Eos’s sake, of course I did!"

“Yikes. How’s the scone?”

Ignis scowled. “You really must stop bringing me sugar. This is why my skin is breaking out.”

“One bite won’t hurt, prince charming.”

Ignis broke a off a tiny piece and popped it into his mouth, but not before shooting Gladio a glare.

“Relax, Iggy. Just give Noct a little time to cool down, think things through. He’ll come around.”

Ignis gave him a doubtful look. He took another bite.

“At least this scone is palatable.”

Gladio flashed him a cheeky smile. “Does that mean you’ll raise my grade professor?”

“I’ll consider it. After all, for an auditing student you do have unusually consistent attendance.”

“Someone’s gotta show up and keep the crown prince in line. Who better than his protector and professional babysitter, the royal shield?”

“Pity you have to sit through my lectures. I imagine it’s dull.”

“Nah. You’re way more interesting than the profs I had during my undergrad.”

‘A lot easier on the eyes, too,’ he thought. His gaze lingered on Ignis’s full, rosy lips before silently flickering away.

“There’s no need for flattery, Gladio. It’s not like I can actually give you credit for the course.”

“Sorry. Guess your little front row fan club is wearing off on me.”

Ignis reddened. He took a hurried sip of coffee, obviously stalling. Gladio grinned, letting himself indulge in the rare sight of a flustered Ignis.

“If the students show enthusiasm,” Ignis began, once he’d finished composing himself, “it is merely due to the engaging nature of the subject.”

“Oh, right. Lucian history makes me blush and squeal, too.”

“Did you come here for the sole purpose of force feeding me scones and distracting me from my work?”

“Why, is it working? Just kidding,” he added quickly at the stern look he received. “Actually, I thought we should touch base on our lovely royal charge’s training schedule over the Solstice. Iris has been bugging me about plans. She wants to invite the entire Amicitia clan over for a get-together.”

“Let me pull up my calendar.” Ignis swiveled in his chair, facing the computer monitor. Gladio contemplated his profile, thrown into sharp relief by the glow of the LED back-light. A million potential lines ran through his head. ‘It should be illegal to be so gorgeous.’ ‘You ever seen an angel up close? Because those cheekbones are high enough to graze the heavens.’

“Got any plans for the Solstice, Iggy?”

“I’m hoping to finish drafting my thesis proposal,” Ignis answered, with a light click of the mouse. “I’d also like to try my hand at a leiden sweet potato casserole. See if I can get Prince Noctis to eat something other than meat for a change.”

Gladio snickered. “Good luck with that last one. By the way, what’s your thesis about again? Food politics - “

“ - with Duscae as a case study for increased multifunctionality in agricultural policy making, yes.” Ignis spared him a brief glance, eyes crinkled with amusement. “I’m impressed you remember.”

‘Course I do,’ Gladio thought dismally. ‘I’ve Moogle searched every article you’ve ever published.’

Fortunately, he was spared the need to reply. One more click of the mouse, and Ignis was tilting the monitor in his direction.

“There we are. So, which dates does Iris have in mind?”

“She’s really got her eyes set on the day of the Solstice, as well the day right before and after. She needs me to help cook, put out decorations…”

‘Basically all the stuff we used to do when mom was around,’ he thought.

“I see. Why don’t I just make a note on my calendar for now? We can continue meeting as planned for the next two weeks. When it comes time, we'll evaluate how Noct is doing. Perhaps it won’t even be necessary for us to meet over the week of the Solstice.”

“Thanks Iggy. I appreciate it.”

“Certainly. It’s imperative that you spend quality time with your family over the holidays, uninterrupted.”

His smile was sad. Of course; Ignis didn't really have any family around to celebrate with. Gladio jiggled his knee, hesitating.

“H-hey, Iggy,” he began cautiously. “Y’know, if you don’t have any plans for the Solstice, you’re always welcome to - “

“Ah, Ignis! Just the man I was looking for.”

Ignis stood as two people Gladiolus had never seen before entered the office. The first was an attractive, bespectacled woman with golden hair swept back in an elegantly casual updo. Gladio, always the gentleman, rose instantly to his feet, pushing in his chair and squeezing back against the bookshelf in an effort to free up some space for her in the tiny room. She was followed by a pale young man who stood shoulder to shoulder with Gladiolus, which was a rare enough occurrence. What was really odd was Ignis's reaction. He blanched as the man entered. Then he was turning away to face the woman, almost as if he'd never even noticed the other visitor at all.

“Dr. Trepe! To what do I owe this pleasure?”

Her lips curved in a perfect cupid’s bow. “Ignis, dear, how many times must I remind you? Call me Quistis. Anyway, I was just giving Prince Ravus a tour of the department.” She gestured toward the man beside her.

Oh - so that’s why he looked familiar. Gladio had often seen the royal Nox Fleuret duo on magazine covers or on TV. Ravus cut a striking figure in person, with his wintry complexion and dual colored eyes. He seemed to resent being watched, interrupting Gladio’s examination with a peculiarly frigid glare.

“Prince Ravus will be joining our department as a research scholar next semester,” Quistis explained. “Your majesty, Ignis is a grad student and TA in our department. As you may be aware, he also serves as the royal advisor to Crown Prince Noctis. He’s quite the feather in the department’s cap.”

Gladio beamed, eyeing Ignis with pride. What he saw surprised him. Iggy’s shoulders were tense, his face frozen in a mask of false politeness.

Something was wrong.

“Thank you, Dr. Trepe. As it stands, I’ve already had the good fortune of making Mr. Scientia’s acquaintance.”

Gladio’s eyes snapped in Ravus’s direction. His expression was unreadable, but his tone of voice suggested that whatever fortune had been at play was anything but “good.”

“Indeed.” Ignis mustered a weak smile. “I’m honored his highness remembers me.”

Ravus flinched, the movement so quick it was barely perceptible. Gladio glanced between them. Whatever vibe was going on here, he didn't like it one bit. He asked the question before he could stop himself.

“How do you two know each other?”

Ignis gasped. “Oh, by the six - where are my manners? Dr. Trepe - “

“Quistis.”

“Quistis” - Ignis blushed - “and Prince Ravus, please allow me to introduce Gladiolus Amicitia, Prince Noctis’s sworn shield, as well as one of my dearest friends.”

Gladio’s chest swelled until it threatened to burst. He crossed his arms, lip quirking up into a satisfied smirk.

'Dearest friend, huh?'

“I see,” Quistis murmured, tapping her chin. Her eyes ran up and down Gladio’s frame with an openly appraising look. “I apologize for interrupting your discussion, Gladiolus. I doubt we made a very good impression.”

“Meeting a colleague of Iggy’s is never an imposition,” Gladio assured her. “Especially not when that colleague is as elegant and beautiful as yourself.”

Quistis blushed, blue eyes sparkling behind her spectacles. “I never imagined the royal shield was such a charmer. You’ll have to bring him around more often, Ignis.”

There was a momentary, infinitesimal fracture in Ignis’s facade. “Yes, well, I daren’t keep his majesty any longer," he said quickly. "I’m sure you’re both quite eager to continue the tour. Prince Ravus, it truly was a pleasure seeing you again. I look forward to our collaboration in the coming semester.”

“As do I,” Ravus snapped, his words laced with such venom that even Quistis sent him a mildly startled look. “Dr. Trepe, shall we?”

“C-certainly. Gladiolus, it was a pleasure. And Ignis, we’ll be seeing you tonight at the reception, won’t we?”

“Of course. The Grand Hotel Insomnia at six o’ clock, correct?”

“Not exactly ideal weather for an event, is it?” Gladio interjected, frowning. “The roads are supposed to freeze after seven.”

Ignis dismissed him with a breezy laugh. “Yes, well, you know what they say Gladio - the show must go on! Until tonight then, Dr. Trepe...Prince Ravus.”

He bowed at the waist. Gladio rushed to follow suit, but not before glimpsing the pain that flashed across the prince’s strange, distant eyes. Then he was gone, sweeping off down the hall without a word of acknowledgement. Quistis rushed after him. Gladio waited until he no longer heard the clicking of her high heels before he spoke.

“What was that all about?”

Ignis began fussing with the papers on his desk. “Dr. Trepe was introducing the newest addition to our department.”

“Who you just happen to already know.”

“Is that so odd? You and I often cross paths with royalty in our line of work.”

“Uh-huh.” Gladio approached the desk, leaning over and splaying both hands across the surface. “So, you gonna tell me how you two actually know each other?”

“I don’t see that it’s any concern of yours,” Ignis replied, voice unusually clipped. Gladio ignored the sting.

“I’m just curious - y’know, as a dear friend and colleague. Why so defensive?”

Ignis slammed down a folder, nostrils flaring. “Fine. Spring 752. I did a semester in Tenebrae. Prince Ravus was a student at the university. We made acquaintance.”

“And?”

“And what?”

Gladio shrugged. “Dunno. Just thought I sensed some hostility between you two.”

“Enough, Gladio!”

The outburst stunned them both. Gladio took a step back. He ran a hand through his hair, trying fiercely not to look as hurt as he felt. After a long moment of silence, Ignis heaved a sigh.

“Forgive me, Gladio. It’s just a rather...unpleasant story, if I’m being honest. I wasn’t expecting to meet him like this, and...I’d rather not talk about it all just yet.”

Gladio chuckled harshly. “Why are you apologizing? I’m the one being the asshole here. Sticking my nose in your business. But if you ever do feel like talking about it, or there’s any way I can help...just let me know.”

“Thank you, Gladio,” he said softly, and the smile he turned on him was so full of warmth and relief that it hurt to look at.

Gladio hurried to change the subject.

“You sure you’re good to go to this reception thing? Ravus will probably be there, too.”

“I’ll be fine. I merely need a moment to compose myself. I do apologize I won’t be able to join you at the gym today. I was quite looking forward to showing off my new gains.”

He wiggled his eyebrows. Gladio snorted.

“Save it for next time, hot shot. But seriously, Iggy - the roads are supposed to get pretty bad tonight. Call me if you need a ride.”

“Certainly; I’m sure Dr. Trepe would just love it if you popped by.”

“Iggy.”

“Don’t worry; I promise I’ll behave myself.”

“You better. Don’t wanna go setting a bed example for Noct.”

Ignis’s smile fell. Gladio rolled his eyes, reaching for the half-eaten pastry on the desk.

“Talk to ‘im,” he said through a mouthful of scone. “Better yet, feed him and then talk. He’s always in a better mood when his stomach’s full.”

“Oh Gladio.” Ignis shook his head. “If only I could be as certain as you are.”

‘But I’m not certain,’ Gladio thought to himself. The uncertainty followed him as he took his leave, wandering through the empty halls of the department alone. Noct could be stubborn, and Ignis had a tendency to cave in. Hopefully they'd be able to come to terms without too much of a fuss.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didnt see the figure rounding the corner, hurtling straight at him. He barely managed to come to a stop before they collided.

“Whoa there!” he exclaimed, stumbling backward. “My bad, are you - ?”

The charity in his voice withered and died as he looked up into the face of the passerby.

Ravus Nox Fleuret.

“Ahem. Pardon me, your majesty.” He stepped aside, the polite gesture a reflex after so many years as a retainer. Ravus, however, stood quite still, eyes fixed on Gladio intently - almost as if he were measuring him up.

Gladio’s jaw clenched.

“There a problem, highness?”

Ravus looked away, making a soft, dismissive noise in the back of his throat. He strode past Gladio with his nose held high, sharp footsteps echoing off the walls like a hailstorm. Gladio’s eyes narrowed, gaze following him over his shoulder. The uneasy feeling was back, creeping up from the pit of his stomach like clutching vines.

Whatever history Ravus and Iggy had together, Gladio had a sneaking suspicion that it wasn’t the good kind.

He tore himself away with a sigh.

“Forget about it,” he muttered firmly. “Iggy can handle himself. It’s not like you have any say in the matter, anyway.”

Still, it was a good thing he kept a spare set of clothes locked up at the campus rec facility. He was gonna need an extra challenging workout today.

У Німеччині розробили і встановили легкі сонячні панелі на електричний транспорт вантажністю понад 3,5 тонни. Проєкт "Зарядка-фотоелектрична система"(Lade-PV) реалізують німецькі компанії та наукові організації під керівництвом Інституту сонячних енергетичних систем Fraunhofer ISE, передає renen. «Розробляємо модулі для двох способів установки у вантажівках: зверху на даху і повна інтеграція в корпус (Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaic — VIPV), які зацікавлять виробників та операторів електричних вантажних автомобілів, - розповідають науковці. – Приміром, для рефрижератора, площа зовнішніх поверхонь якого досить велика, розробили легкі і надійні, стійкі до вібрації і до вигину сонячні модулі, які важить не більше 2,6 кілограма на квадратний метр». Для серійного виробництва полегшених сонячних модулів VIPV розроблена спеціальна виробнича концепція, і переобладнана існуюча виробнича лінія від компанії Sunset Energietechnik GmbH. Наразі прототипи модулів вбудовані у поверхні вантажних електромобілів (рефрижераторів) фірми TBV Kühlfahrzeuge GmbH. На цей час випробовуються відповідні комбінації матеріалів і розробляється концепція для модернізації корпусів фургонів, включаючи прокладку кабелів і вбудовування силової електроніки. Для підключення сонячних модулів до існуючих електричних систем комерційного автомобіля партнер проєкту по електроніці, компанія M&P motion control and power electronics GmbH, розробляє і тестує компоненти силової електроніки для використання на демонстраційних автомобілях. Через обмежений простір для встановлення та вимоги до ваги використовуються нові напівпровідникові технології, які працюють з високими тактовими частотами, і тому пристрої можуть бути зменшені в розмірі. В рамках проєкту, який містить опрацювання питань виробництва та інтеграції компонентів, організації ланцюжка постачання, Інститут транспортних та інфраструктурних систем Fraunhofer IVI розробляє модель енергоспоживання транспортного засобу з урахуванням вироблення електроенергії фотоелектричною системою, часу зарядки, особливостей різних маршрутів і т. д. «Вантажні автомобілі можуть покривати понад 5% споживання своєї енергії шляхом сонця, - говорить Крістоф Каттер, керівник проєкту Fraunhofer ISE. - Фотоелекричні модулі можуть дати додаткові 4000-6000 кілометрів на рік». В ЄС важкі вантажівки продукують 6% викидів CO₂. *Telegram — http://bit.ly/34GUlVV #electroua #eua #electroukraine #letsmakeelectrouagreat #electrouadnipro #electroualviv #electrouaodessa #electrouauzhorod

Russian calligraphy is so beautiful, I think the Cyrillic alphabet works really well for that style! 

Here’s an example of English fountain pen writing, which I haven’t done in years but I gave it a try anyway: 

Top is upper case, bottom lower case. 

“This resembles non-cursive (with a fountain pen).” 

“This is cursive font in fountain pen.” 

“Non-cursive is harder in fountain pen, so you rarely see it.”

“This was most common (in English) up until (about) 1910.” 

“There is also thin nib fountain pen writing, which is what became modern cursive (in English).” 

The thin-nib writing is actually done by writing with the very edge of the fountain pen nib, to make a thinner and more even line. Ballpoint pens were invented to reproduce this effect! 

The nib I used here is very thick and bad for writing on such small lines, but I have family documents from 1880-1930 that are written in this style. It was most popular up until about 1910, and became less common by 1940; It was almost totally out of use by the 1960s. Usually within that period, you only see fountain pen writing on formal documents or business contracts. 

Nobody really wrote non-cursive with a fountain pen because it doesn’t look quite right with the different thicknesses of the ink, and disconnecting the letters would often make pens bleed ink, which would ruin the paper! But I gave an example of it anyway, even though it all looks sort of similar, because that problem is also what led to creating more modern pens which changed how handwriting was taught in English.

The 1920s handwriting developed at the end of the fountain pen era, which explains why the letters are so long; It’s like fountain pen cursive, but using block letters! Non-cursive became more popular around that time, which you can see in the transition to big block letter Art Deco signs, like this one for The Ivy, an Art Deco venue that is still open here in London: 

Legibility became more popular than flourish, but style remained important, so typography changed accordingly as well as handwriting. 

I haven’t done cursive handwriting in a very long time, but my brain also goes really fast, so I find that my cursive is terrible because it all bunches up together! My brain goes fast, so the letters all become a little too connected. XD 

I looked up Imperial Russian handwriting to take a look, spotted that, and I immediately got the urge to refresh my Russian cursive workbook... !! The letters are so beautiful. 

I feel like English letters are very chunky, mostly because the way we write isn’t quite as ergonomic as the way Russian cursive is written. When I figured out the right way to write Д, I was like, why aren’t we doing it this way in English???? It’s so much more fluid to write Russian. 

I think that’s why it’s often the case that non-native speakers have great English handwriting, but native English speakers don’t! The way we learn to actually write out the letters is often counter-intuitive or opposes the way the next letter in a word is written, which breaks the flow and results in bad handwriting. But other languages seem to have better methods of actually writing out letters, then carry over those methods to English, and it works very well! 

Hey @milabazal2002 following up on our writing discussion yesterday, here’s my terrible handwriting!! 

Top is block letters, second row is my bad memory of D’Nelian handwriting, then the third row is the 1920s lower case alphabet my Nana taught me! (The upper case letters are the same as cursive.) 

Sentence 1: “This is what my grandmother wrote like - 1920s English handwriting!” 

Sentence 2: “This is what my mother wrote like - 1950s English handwriting!” 

Sentence 3: “This is what I write like- 1990s English handwriting!” 

I thought it might be interesting to see the evolution from very long stroke letters to letters that have more space between them. 

Cursive used to be way more popular, even when I was little, but nowadays almost nobody uses it in English unless it’s for their signature.

Как отключить подписку на айфоне и точно не потерять деньги [Инструкция]

https://icookie.ru/kak-otklyuchit-podpisku-na-iphone/

Как отключить подписку на айфоне и точно не потерять деньги [Инструкция]

Подробно рассказываем, как оперативно отключить подписку на Айфоне.

Широкое распространение мобильных устройств, имеющих возможность выхода в интернет, привело к широкому распространению подписок на ресурсы, сервисы, услуги, предлагаемые теми или иными сайтами.

При этом, распространяются они настолько активно, что пользователь может быть подписан на ненужный ему сервис «по умолчанию», даже не зная этого.

Содержание:

Суть проблемы

Почти у каждого владельца айфона или айпада к мобильному смарт-устройству привязан действующий банковский счет или карта.

С этого счета осуществляется оплата, например, при покупке платных приложений, скачивании песен в iTunes и т. д.

Но многие программы, приложения скачиваются бесплатно, однако в дальнейшем требуют оформления платной подписки, которая реализуется в нескольких видах:

Разовая оплата за доступ к полной версии приложения.

Периодическая оплата для продолжения полнофункционального пользования сервисом/приложением.

Оплата при покупке дополнительного контента, расширении функционала и т. д.

Неприятная особенность подписок в том, что нередко разработчики, стремясь продать услугу, осуществляют оформление подписки по умолчанию, когда пользователь может даже не знать о ней.

В таком режиме покупки в приложении, либо периодические списания происходят без дополнительных уведомлений, тем не менее, деньги с привязанной к банковской карте, списываются.

При недостаточной внимательности пользователя, он может достаточно долгое время не замечать оплаты.

Вторая возможная ситуация, ведущая к возникновению проблемы – широкое распространение бесплатного пробного периода подписки, на протяжении которого доступ к сервисам и/или контенту предоставляется бесплатно

Если по истечению пробного периода пользователь не отменит подписку, она автоматически продлеваются, но при этом уже платно. В таких условиях пользователь может невнимательно ознакомиться с условиями пользования или просто забыть отключить подписку.

Откуда берутся подписки?

Интернет-сервисы и мобильные приложения способны получить доступ к вашим данным и оформить подписку почти на что угодно:

Видеотеки – ivi, Netflix, HBO и другие. Оформляться могут при посещении сайта или скачивании приложения, после активации бесплатного пробного периода.

Аудиотеки – Яндекс.Музыка, Музыка ВКонтакте и другое. Способы подключения те же, что и у видеотек.

Новый контент в приложениях – эксклюзивные фильтры для фото и шрифты, дополнительные уровни и жизни, иной игровой контент. Продать таким способом можно практически что угодно, при этом, используя контент, вы можете даже не понять, что он платный.

Подписки от мобильных операторов. Иногда по условиям тарифного плана, при заключении контракта с мобильным оператором, вам по умолчанию подключаются подписки на те или иные сервисы на определенный период бесплатно. После истечения этого периода, договор автоматически продляется (если подписки не были отключены принудительно) и за пользование или даже просто за наличие активной подписки начинает списываться установленная договором абонентская плата.

Технически, всех этих неприятностей можно избежать, если сохранять максимальную внимательность, скачивая приложения и пользуясь различными сервисами. В реальности же избежать случайной подписки достаточно сложно, потому во избежание не нужных трат, рекомендуется периодически просматривать свой список подписок и удалять из него все ненужные.

Как посмотреть подписку и отключить

Избежать непредвиденных или ненужных трат можно только путем отключения всех ненужных вам подписок.

Для этого можно воспользоваться официальным методом, рекомендованным Службой поддержки компании Apple.

Действуйте согласно алгоритму:

1Найдите на рабочем столе своего устройства иконку Настроек (изображение шестеренки) и перейдите в данный раздел. Первая строчка в открывшемся разделе содержит имя пользователя, на которого зарегистрировано устройство и аватар (если вы его загружали). Тапните по этому разделу настроек.

Рис. 1 Настройки

2Откроется страница, содержащая основную информацию профиля и функции управления вашими персональными данными, связанными с аккаунтом. Тапните по разделу iTunes Store и App Store – в нем отображаются все ваши покупки на данных ресурсах.

Рис. 2 Персонализация

3В верхней части открывшейся страницы находится ваш Apple ID, выделенный голубым шрифтом и оформленный как ссылка. Тапните по данному разделу для просмотра подробной информации. Откроется всплывающее окно, в котором вам необходимо будет выбрать первый вариант – Просмотреть Apple ID.

Рис. 3 Просмотреть

4Новая страница начнет загружаться – в зависимости от скорости вашего интернет-соединения, частоты использования Apple ID, это может занять некоторое время. После этого система потребует повторно ввести данные идентификации в Эппл или же использовать Touch ID, если функция поддерживается на вашем устройстве. Открывшуюся страницу, после того, как она все же загрузилась, прокрутите вниз до раздела Подписки.

Рис. 4 ��правление

5После нажатия на найденный вами раздел Подписки, откроется их список. В списке отображаются абсолютно все ваши подписки от различных сервисов, список которых составляется на основании того, каким абонентам производится оплата с вашего платежного счета, привязанного к устройству. Найдите подписку, которую хотите отключить, и тапните по ней.

Рис. 5 Подписки

6Откроется персональная страница конкретной подписки. На ней будет указана основная информация, частота списания денег, а также будет отображена история денежных операций – списаний. В нижней части этой страницы имеется кнопка Отменить подписку, выделенная красным шрифтом – нажмите на нее для отмены, а во всплывающем окне подтвердите свое решение отменить подписку.

Рис. 6 Подтверждение

Описанный выше метод полностью официальный, рекомендуется Службой поддержки Компании для использования на всех iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch. Работает, и имеет примерно схожий механизм управления, на всех версиях операционной системы, потому даже если у вас старое устройство или вы не устанавливали обновления, процесс останется схожим.

Отключение подписки через Аппстор

Данный метод не столь быстр, удобен и универсален, но прекрасно подойдет тем, кто часто использует AppStore.

Чтобы отключить нежелательные подписки с помощью него, проделайте следующее.

Найдите на рабочем столе устройства иконку AppStore и тапните по ней. После того, как приложение откроется, в нижнем левом углу найдите кнопку Сегодня и нажмите на нее.

Рис. 7 Раздел Сегодня

На обновившейся странице найдите в верхней правой части экрана картинку с изображением аватара (или аватаром, если он у вас установлен). Она располагается в самом верху открывшегося окна – тапните по картинке.

Найдите раздел Управление подписками и перейдите в него. Далее способы работы с имеющимися су вас подписками будут аналогичны тем, что описаны выше.

Рис. 8 Открываемая страница

Способ достаточно быстрый и несложный – позволяет максимально удобно управлять подписками активным пользователям AppStore. Однако имеет те же недостатки, что описанный выше – таким методом можно управлять только теми подписками, оплата которых происходит с участием компании Apple.

Возможные проблемы

Пользуясь методикой, описанной выше, вы можете столкнуться с некоторыми проблемами, решить которые достаточно просто.

Распространенные проблемы рассмотрены ниже:

Вы перешли в персональный раздел Apple ID, но в списке функций полностью отсутствует раздел Подписки. Это значит, что подписки на данном устройстве не подключены. Если вы все же уверены, что подписки имеются, это говорит о том, что списание по ним происходит без участия компании Apple (отключение в этом случае проводится, вероятнее всего, в Личном кабинете на сайте поставщика подписки или в приложении).

В списке подписок отображаются не все имеющиеся подписки. Ситуация аналогичная предыдущей – если подписка не отображается, значит списание денежных средств происходит не через компанию Apple.

Не пытайтесь найти в этом списке подписки, оформленные непосредственно через мобильного оператора – они отображаются только в Личном кабинете Абонента.

Службой поддержки Компании разработаны подробные инструкции по работе, в случае возникновения проблем с подписками Apple. Подробные инструкции доступны на официальном сайте.

Дополнительные методики

Существуют альтернативные методы отключения подписок, поставляемых не Apple.

Это следующие способы:

Отключение непосредственно через приложение-поставщика.

Отключение подписок от оператора в Личном кабинете Абонента в приложении или на сайте, либо при посещении физического офиса мобильного оператора.

Отключение на сайте поставщика подписки – там же, где вы ее подключали.

Используйте эти методики, когда подписка не отображается в соответствующем списке на iPhone.

Вывод

Избежать нежелательных подписок на своем устройстве можно, если быть достаточно внимательным при использовании устройства и скачивании различных сервисов.

Тем не менее, сделать это достаточно трудно, так как многие подписки оформляются скрыто.

Потому целесообразнее будет периодически проверять список подписок и отключать ненужные.

Наиболее простым способом является первый, описанный в статье, но, если вы часто пользуетесь AppStore, альтернативный способ также может подойти.

Если же оплата подписки происходит без участия компании Apple, а деньги списываются сторонними сервисами, то приходится искать иные пути отключения подписок, зачастую, более сложные.
